CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 12:09 am I think you will be disappointed. The 2 looks odd though could just be the pic but the mintmark does not look like MMS-001, looks closer to being MMS-002. But why would someone counterfeit such a 'cheap' coin? I'm guessing this will end up in the $100 range. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274705574954 Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 12:19 am Any coin worth more than a few dollars are being counterfeited by the Chinese. The light on this one you showed us isn't the best, but at first glance, this coin has the "casted" look to it (porous surfaces). Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 08:06 am I just shake my head. The international counterfeit machine will counterfeit anything to make a buck. The Chinese I believe are the most guilty of this. As long as people buy them they will keep pumping them out.
